THE JEWISH CITIZEN
Peace-making, solving world food
shortage are interrelated necessitiesBy Donald H. Harrison
 TEL AVIV—A video address from Jeffrey Sachs, director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, set the tone Monday for a Peres Peace Center panel on the urgency of solving the food crisis in the Middle East and other “food-stressed” areas of the globe.
Sachs told delegates at the 10th anniversary conference of the Peres Peace Center that declining yields of crops lead to competition for resources, and sometimes, as in the case of Darfur, warfare. Many people forget that the killings—some say genocide—in that region developed after nomads in the northern part of the country, unable tofind sufficient food, moved to the south, creating deadly competition for land.
Food shortages are not restricted to the Sudan, said Sachs. Similar crop conditions are being seen along a broad swath of Africa, as well as in other areas of the world, including the arid countries of the Middle East. He urged Israel to bring its technological know-how to bear in food-stressed countries, helping them to cope with less productive soils and droughts by exporting drip irrigation methods, high yield seeds and improved fertilizer.
Other panelists offered suggestions for increasing crop yields. For example, Dr. Ilan Chet, a Hebrew university microbiologist and former president of the Weizmann Institute, said people should rid themselves of their fears about “genetically-engineered” foods, and instead support research to create high-yield, high-protein crops that could help feed a hungry world.
He described the so-called genetic engineering as a process similar to what nature has been doing through evolution. The difference, he suggested, was that the process is much quicker in laboratories and human needs can be taken into account. Grains could be created that won’t absorb pesticides, thus preventing the poisons from being passed up the food chain. New foods could be produced with extra vitamin content.
Guido Barilla, chairman of the Italian pasta company that bears his name, urged better utilization of agricultural lands. Animal production, he said, takes more land and produces far less food benefit than the same lands turned over to wheat production. He also argued against the use of bio-fuels, saying crops are more desperately needed for feeding people. In this he echoed the comments of Samuel Pohoryles , deputy director of the Peres Peace Center, who said the amount of corn needed to produce fuel to fill one tank of an average size automobile is equal to what an African villager might eat in a year.
Alexander Likhotal, president and chief executive officer of Green Cross International, called for better development and utilization of the world’s water resources, commenting that when people in wealthy countries use clean water wastefully they deny the possibility of exporting that water to people who need it the most, those in poor countries. The world needs to better manage its reservoir and aquifer levels, and it must come to realize that desalinization is cheaper than war.
Cooperation among nations in crop-raising practices, in use of advanced agricultural technology and in marketing foods may also contribute to easing the strain of worldwide food shortages while at the same time promoting peace among such longtime adversaries as the Arabs and the Israelis.
This point was driven home in separate presentations by Faud Abou-Hadad, director-general of Egypt’s ministry of agriculture; Walid Abed-Rabbah,the Palestine Authority’s former minister of agriculture, and Bonnie Stewart, executive director of the San Diego State University-based Hansen Institute for World Peace.
Stewart told of the Hansen Institute program that since the 1980s has brought Arabs and Israelis together to discuss cooperation in agricultural techniques—the meetings initially occurring at San Diego State University, under a grant from the Hansen Foundation, because the Middle Eastern participants’ respective countries did not have diplomatic relations with each other.
Under the theory that common agricultural problems have common solutions, agricultural experts of these countries developed working partnerships that eventually blossomed into cross-border friendships, according to Stewart. A maxim of both the Peres Peace Center and the Hansen Institute for World Peace is that positive person-to-person relationships are essential to building an enduring peace.
Abou-Hadad spoke of Egypt’s gains in producing crops “that have shorter growing periods, decreased water needs and which are even able to be produced with saline water.” Complimenting some of the agricultural practices in Israel’s Negev, the director general said “their crops grow on land saltier than the sea.”
Abel-Rabbah noted that Palestine and Israel are part of the same region, sharing the same watersheds and aquifers, and subject to the same kinds of agricultural diseases. Sharing the same land, “we need to take care of it.”
But whereas cooperation in agriculture may help to build the peace, so too, on the Palestinian side, will peace help build agriculture. Abel-Rabbah said that “occupation, closures, settlements and seizures” all would come to an end, making the farmer’s work easier.
About 50 percent of the agricultural lands in Palestine are utilized by olive groves, according to Abel-Rabbah. Along with the fact that olive branches are peace symbols, this was a factor in the decision by the Peres Peace Center/ Hansen Institute in choosing the olive as the first crop which Israelis and Palestinians might jointly market.
Stewart said that the intent is to create an olive oil blended from olives grown both in Israel and Palestine. Besides helping the growers, the project would create business opportunities for bottlers and distributors, enlarging the constituency for peace. If the concept proves workable, she said, cooperative marketing projects for such other crops as dates and tomatoes may be considered.
The project immediately drew a compliment from the panel’s moderator, Nitzan Horowitz, an Israeli journalist. And Pohoryles of the Peres Peace Center said another project anticipates the planting of four million new olive trees in Palestine, Israel and Jordan.

LETTER FROM JERUSALEM
Local religious customs should be observed at the Western Wall
By Ira Sharkansky
 JERUSALEM—What prompts this note is an advertisement for a documentary film in behalf of a "courageous struggle" for religious freedom in Israel, i.e., the rights of women to pray as they desire at the Western Wall.
The ad came with a clip from the film. It features the "Women of the Wall," with comments by women rabbis and other activists, mostly from Los Angeles. They complain that women are not allowed to read from the Torah, or to appear in prayer shawl (tallit), skullcap, and phylacteries (tfillin) at the Western Wall. They complain about the curses and violence they may experience at the hands of the Orthodox (mostly, but not entirely men).
I do not view myself as religious, or participate regularly in the services of any synagogue: Orthodox, Conservative, Reform or Reconstructionist. When I visit my daughter and son-in-law, serious Reform Jews in Boston, I enjoy the Friday night service at their Reform Temple, including the female cantor and the musical instruments that accompany her.
While I think of myself as far from being a religious fanatic, it appears to me that the Women of the Wall are violating an elementary rule of religious courtesy, as well as a norm well established in Jewish tradition: observing the customs of the place.
Judaism has been developing for at least 2,500 years, and has been touched by experiences in many places. Israel claims that its people came from 100 countries. That may be a convenient round number for something more or less, but it does indicate our diversity.
Observing the customs of the place is a way to avoid conflict. The "place" may be a country, locality, or synagogue. Israel has synagogues serving Ashkenazim, Sephardim, numerous national cultures within each of those major divisions or outside both of them. There are synagogues that mix cultures, following one ritual or another depending on which member of the congregation is taking a turn as the reader. Almost all the synagogues are Orthodox. Prevailing custom in them is for men only to read from the Torah, or to don a prayer shawl, skullcap, and phylacteries.
When my mother died, I was expecting to say Kaddish at her funeral in Massachusetts.. As the only son, I expected to say it alone. I was a bit surprised when the Conservative rabbi invited all those present to say the prayer. I thought for a moment that he should have asked my preference, but it was not the time or place for a comment. I prayed along with everyone else.
The Israeli Jewish establishment is Orthodox, as defined in numerous laws and regulations. Orthodox rabbis monopolize the functions that deal with marriage and divorce among Jews. Individuals married outside of Israel by non-Orthodox rabbis or in civil ceremonies are recognized as married by official bodies. Recent estimates are that as many as 25 percent of Jewish couples choose a non-Orthodox wedding overseas, in addition to the overseas marriages involving interfaith couples and individuals not recognized as Jewish.
Non-religious Jews are likely a plurality, and perhaps a majority of the Israeli Jewish population. Those affiliated with non-Orthodox congregations are a small minority.
The plaza at the Western Wall has an area set aside for women to pray according to Orthodox norms. The police are likely to enforce bans on women in prayer shawls, skullcaps, and phylacteries, or reading from the Torah. The Supreme Court has upheld these bans, on the principle of maintaining public order and safety.
On the same principle, Muslim religious authorities are granted control over the Temple Mount/Noble Sanctuary. Jews are not allowed to pray on the Temple Mount, may not be allowed to enter the Dome of the Rock or al-Aqsa Mosque, and are not allowed on the Temple Mount during Muslim holy days or when the police perceive that tensions are high.
Some of the rules are flexible. Not all are enforced all of the time, and the courts have decided in ways that are sometimes liberal and sometimes conservative. It is possible to find an increase in permissiveness, but it is not coming rapidly and is less extensive than many desire. Women in religious garb or reading from the Torah at the Western Wall, and Jews on the Temple Mount are not the only issues that reach the courts. There are also problems with the sale of non-kosher food, advertizing posters that feature women dressed (or not dressed) in ways considered modest, commerce on the Sabbath, and marches by gays and lesbians.
Justice? That is not a term that lends itself to conflicts about religious practice. Being wise in context may require people to avoid insisting on what they think are their rights. Protestant tourists are wise not to hold an impromptu religious service in the Vatican. Jews who campaign about religious coercion in Jerusalem might think again about customs of the place.
TIFERETH ISRAEL SYNAGOGUE
THE VIEW FROM JINSA
Hamas must be 'dealt' with
By Shoshana Bryen
 WASHINGTON, D.C.—Dennis Ross, President Clinton's Middle East envoy, is now speaking on behalf of Senator Obama on issues of Middle East security. In a recent interview, he addressed key issues of concern to JINSA readers.
In terms of the [Palestinian-Israeli] peace process, if you don't engage, then by definition, Hamas becomes stronger... Senator Obama won't deal with a non-state actor like Hamas unless Hamas changes its position, unless it's prepared to recognize Israel, unless it makes it clear [that] it gives up on terror, unless it's prepared to recognize previous agreements. So as for non-state actors, he's not willing to deal with them... the U.S. should play a role, the U.S. should be involved, the U.S. should do what it can to promote the peace process and build bridges where it can... We cannot impose peace, because an imposed peace isn't peace at all. He's more than willing to invest in the process, but, then again, how he does it and in what ways will depend very much on the circumstances, and obviously there are many other issues out there.
It is an important statement and we very much appreciate the idea that an imposed peace is no peace at all.
Ambassador Ross glosses over a crucial point, however, implying that American "engagement" will be between Israel and Fatah, because Sen. Obama will not "deal" with Hamas. But Israel and Fatah at best control only two of the three entities occupying space between the Jordan and the Mediterranean. "Not dealing with Hamas," we assume, means not talking with or negotiating with Hamas - OK, but someone has to "deal" with Hamas, and someone has to "deal" with Gaza." To ignore them is folly.
Through weapons imports and terrorist training - some of it in Iran with Hezbollah - Gaza is in danger of becoming an Iranian outpost next to Israel. The IDF already sees Hamas troops engaged in military training - not just terrorist capability, but fighting in formations. Saudi Arabia tried to restore some of its influence with Sunni Hamas, but for now, Iran has trumped Sunni solidarity. And while Fatah is confined to the West Bank, Hamas definitely is not confined to Gaza, meaning even where Israel and Fatah might find modus operandus, Hamas is there to play spoiler.
The U.S. military is arming and training Palestinian forces to try to control Hamas on the West Bank, but the IDF provides the only real security. Moreover, while Fatah forces are happy enough to thwart Hamas interests where they can, there is expressly no pledge from Abu Mazen to use those troops to protect Israeli citizens from Palestinian terrorists - including terrorists from Fatah's own al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade.
And Abu Mazen's term as President of Palestine is ending, meaning that both the Americans and the Israelis face the possibility of Hamas being "elected" to run the whole "shooting match," so to speak. And if the Palestinians don't have an election, we are training the Fatah army to hold power by force against its own people. This should raise questions in the United States, even if the result is that we temporarily keep the dictator we like.
JINSA has been skeptical about "processes" that ask parties to give up deeply held beliefs and understandings in the name of "peace." That was the nature of the Oslo process, and that process failed. We were, and remain, skeptical that Abu Mazen and Fatah have given up the idea that the creation of Israel was a mistake, and have decided that Jewish sovereignty is, in fact, legitimate. We believe that Fatah and Hamas are closer in political ideology, if not action plan, than Fatah and Israel.
The next president - whoever it is - will find three players, three governments and three physically separate entities. There will be no way not to "deal" with them all.

SONGS OF OUR PEOPLE
Adarim a shepherd's song transformed
To hear Cantor Merel chant Adarim, please click here
By Cantor Sheldon Merel
 SAN DIEGO—Adarim, is a charming shepherd’s song, based on a Jewish Oriental folk melody arranged by Julius Chajes, and transformed into an art song. His sensitive composition captures the scene of Shepherds tending their herds of playful sheep in a beautiful mountain valley. As the shepherds listen to the echoes of their chalils (flutes) resounding through the valley, they sing, and clap their hands. They are happy with their lot in life, and declare, “My sheep and my mountains are my wealth!”
Adarim’s brilliant piano accompaniment and vocal solo, has constantly changing engaging tempos and moods. It begins with quiet pastorale singing,”Al ha-rim” (in the mountains and sounds of the sheep), and then picks up with rapid singing of,” li, li, li." One can almost hear the echoes of the chalilim (wooden flutes) resounding through the mountains, as Adarim ends with joyous repetition of, “li edri, li ashri, li ha-ri” (my sheep,and my mountains are my wealth).
“In the mountains of Israel we see the flocks of wandering sheep. Shepherds playing their flutes, listen to the echo. As the sun sets, the shepherds clap their hands, dancing and singing in joy. Their voices rise in song: “My sheep and my mountains are my wealth."
As Yemenite Jews made aliyah to Israel, their folk songs quickly became very popular in the entire Jewish world, and some compositions reached the rank of art songs, as did Adarim. Many of their melodies are based on the love story of Sh’lomit and King Solomon, as described in the Bible’s Song of Songs, and consequently are often sung during weddings.
This selection was recorded live-in-concert, and is featured on Cantor Merel’s CD, Standing Ovation. The composition was published in 1939 by Transcontinental Music

GUEST COLUMNClassical Israeli musicians reunite
at Rancho Santa Fe performance
By Jim Lantry
RANCHO SANTA FE, California—The home of David Karpol was turned into a concert hall Sunday when two young Israeli musicians, Kobi Malkin and Victor Stanislavsky, gave a virtuoso performance of chamber music before an audience of 100 guests. Sponsored by July Galper, the concert was the latest in what has become an annual event designed to provide promising young Israeli musicians with a venue for their music and some funds to further their studies.
Introducing the two musicians, Galper announced that she had both good news and bad news. The bas news was that Shani Inbar, a classic guitarist, who was originally scheduled to perform with Stanislavsky, could not obtain the necessary visas despite the best efforts of several people. But the good news was that the classical violinist Malkin, who is studying at the New England Conservatory of Music, was able to stand in for Inbar.
Thus the concert brought together two young Israeli musicians for the first time since they performed together with the Haifa Symphony during an Israeli Independence Day celebration eight years ago. They treated the audience to Brahms' "Sonata Op. 78 in G major" and Grieg's "Sonata No, 3 in C Minor." In addition, Stanislavsky performed a piano solo of Alexander Skryabin's "Fantasy op. 28 in B minor."
Victor Stanislavsky was born in the Ukraine in 1982, but emigrated to Israel at the age of eight. He began his piano lessons with Rieta Lesochin at the Rubin Conservatory in Haifa. By the age of ten, the talented young musician had captured the first prize in a young talent competition in Israel.
Stanislovsky earned his Bachelor of Music and Masters of Music degrees from the Buchmann-Mehta School of Music at Tel Aviv University. He served three years in the Israeli Defense Forces under the status of "Outstanding Musician" and has received an America-Israeli Cultural Foundation scholarship. He has performed at the Ravinia and Israel Festivals as well as in concerts throughout China, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Russia and the United States.
Kobi Malkin, was born in Israel in 1985. He began his violin studies at the age of six at the Karmiel Conservatory in the Beit Kerem Valley. In 2000, Malkin won the prestigious Zvi Rotenberg prize of the Haifa Symphony Orchestra. . This year, Malkin received a special award for reaching the final round of the Ilona Kornhauser violin competition and in July placed second in the Canetti International Violin Competition.
Malklin is a graduate of the "Young Musicians Unit" of the Jerusalem Music Center in Mishkenot She'ananim. He also served in the Israeli Defense Forces under the status of "Outstanding Musician." Kobi has earned scholarships from the America Israel Cultural Foundation and the Ilona Feher Foundation. He has performed as a soloist with the Symphony Orchestras in Haifa, Ra'anana and Jerusalem, the Ashdod chamber orchestra, the Young Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra and the Jerusalem Music Academy Symphony Orchestra
Following the concert, the audience mingled with the artists over a sumptuous dessert buffet.
